Player of the week goes to RR-87
he earned 17 points this week, and moved up 7 spots
i will use a key, to find out where the player of the week is
ranking movement inside top15 x 3
ranking movement inside top30 x 2
and outside top30 it is just the normal movement
so for this week it means
RR-87 .......... = 7 spots x 0 = 7 spots
frenchie ....... = 2 spots x 3 = 6 spots
tucker1989 ..... = 2 spots x 3 = 6 spots
einna .......... = 5 spots x 0 = 5 spots
so noone can complain in the future that i use different standarts to find the PotW
AO/RG/WB/US) = here will your GrandSlam points appear
(01/01/x) .007 ..07
..|.|..|....|....|.
..|.|..|....|....|____ your points earned last week
..|.|..|....|......
..|.|..|....|_________ your total points
..|.|..|...........
..|.|..|______________ Number of late entries already used
..|.|..............
..|.|_________________ Number of week you earned points
..|................
..|___________________ Number of week you entered
the player with the most points is #1
if two or more players have the ammount of points then the player with more entered weeks will be ranked higher, if the number of entered weeks the same then the player with less used Late-Entries is ranked higher.
if both the same then the players are ranked the same.
i choosed this because this game is just fun when many players enter, and so i give a little credit to player who play each week over player who play just few weeks the year
week ...Tournaments......................... Player of the week.
